Mumbai, May 30 -- The Supreme Court on Friday turned down a plea filed by former Mumbai police encounter specialist Pradeep Sharma seeking discharge in the case involving the conspiracy behind planting of explosives in a vehicle outside the residence of industrialist Mukesh Ambani in 2021 and the consequent killing of a businessman Mansukh Hiran whose vehicle was used for this purpose. A bench of justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta said, "How can you seek discharge? We will simply dismiss it as we do not wish to say anything that will prejudice your trial." Sharma approached the court against a March 10 order of the Bombay High Court dismissing his discharge plea. He was arrested in June 2021 and was granted bail by the top court in August 2023. Senior advocates Mukul Rohatgi and Siddharth Luthra, who appeared for Sharma, told the court that the allegation against him is that former cop Sachin Waze had approached him with cash to kill Hiran, whose body was recovered in March, 2021 from Retibunder. Hiran had on February 17 that year reported the theft of his Mahindra Scorpio vehicle, which was found parked on February 25 outside Antilia, containing 20 gelatin sticks and a note threatening the industrialist and his wife. The investigation of the case was initially handled by Sachin Waze of the Crime Intelligence Unit of the Mumbai Police. Following Hiran's murder, his wife lodged a complaint against Waze of allegedly killing her husband. Waze was made an accused and NIA arrested Sharma alleging that he was part of the conspiracy to kill Hiran....
